I've read the book
I've seen the film
I've heard the song
Now I live the life

You come from across the sea
And you shudder when you listen to me

But I know I'm all right
Because I am American
I know my sitcoms
I stay informed

They smile at me on my TV
They make me feel so good
They'd come to me if they only could

I've read the book
I've seen the film
I've heard the song
Now I live the life

You come from across the sea
And you shudder when you listen to me

But I know I'm all right
Because I am American
I know my sitcoms
I stay informed

You come from across the sea
And you shudder when you listen to me

They smile at me on my TV
They make me feel so good
They'd come to me if they only could

I've read the book
I've seen the film
I've heard the song
Now I live the life

But I know I'm all right
Because I am American
I know my sitcoms
I stay informed

I've read the book
I've seen the film
I've heard the song
Now I live the life

But I know I'm all right
Because I am American
I know my sitcoms
I stay informed
